A Doorway Leap

I scrambled out of my cozy cable spot and trotted straight toward the big wooden door where sunlight was peeking under the gap! A row of tall sneakers was lined up like colorful towers, and one bright green running shoe had its floppy laces spilling all over the floor. I grabbed a white lace with both mittened hands, tried to use it like a climbing rope, and swung forward with all my might! Whoosh—I lost my grip and tumbled headfirst right into the wide mesh toe of the sneaker! Dusting myself off, I peered out through the laces; that bottom crack under the door is definitely my ticket to the outside world soon.
